Wenger says Arsenal have improved

Arsenal head in to their Champions League Last 16 1st Leg at the Emirates tonight looking to establish a lead against Barcelona before the two sides meet at the Nou Camp in three weeks time.

Despite it not being the draw that Arsenal wanted, Arsene Wenger believes his side have improved significantly since last season, when the Gunners went crashing out to the Spanish champions in the Quarter-Final stage. Having salvaged a 2-2 draw at home, despite a phenomenal display of possession football, the Gunners went on to lose 4-1 in Spain.

This time around however and Wenger believes his side have it in them to topple Barca, who themselves have seemingly found yet another gear to move up to this season.
